Summer Fun!

We had a great summer full of traveling, camping, boating, riding motos, reunions and just having fun being together. Marena is a senior and will be heading off to college soon. We needed to make the summer full of family fun.

We decided to splurge and buy a toyhauler (which is a camp trailer that also carries our 4 wheeler and motorcycles) and we had a great time and went camping quite a bit. We also got an older boat and had tons of fun with it. We went boating at Lake Lowell, Horsethief Reservoir and Anderson Ranch Reservoir.

Before

I started trying to lose weight on January 12th and I have been at it ever since then. The first week, I lost 8 lbs. The second week, I had lost 15 lbs. The next few pounds were a bit more difficult to lose but as of April 20th, I've lost 35 lbs.!!!

I'm pretty disgusted at this before picture but I decided to share it anyway. I feel so much better...in more ways than one. I'm still trying to lose 10 lbs. more to reach my target weight. It's very hard now to stay motivated when I'm so ecstatic with where I'm at now but I will keep on going to get to my target weight.

By the way...Mike has lost nearly 50 lbs.!!!!! When he returns from India I will take a picture of him for the blog. He is skinny, skinny!
